I once had an anxiety attack early in the morning. It was a very unpleasant feeling. You wake up to a rapidly beating heart and your mind is just full of anxiety and fear and dread. It felt like my mind was trying to split apart. I got up ran to the shower and hit the cold water... instantly helped. This stuff really does help. Keep on rockin everyone.

My 14 yo son started doing your method 2 months ago and i have to say thank you so much! He changed so much, he is more disciplined, never misses one day, much happier, helthier, stronger and confident. This is amazing! Recomand all parents to do this with their teenage sons and daughters 🙏

I do cold showers every morning at 4.30 and after that there is nothing the day can throw at me that I can't handle 💪🏻

I remember that back in the day, in the Netherlands, this guy was always considered a bit of a nut job, while anyone with eyes can see it's just sheer passion. Good to see the world has opened up to him and he is getting the recognition he deserves. Goed bezig, Wim!

This man changed my life!!! I’m healthier than ever and I’ve only been practicing for one year. Life is good!😊

What a character this man is. Thankyou Wim

Your selfless contribution to health and well-being is a gift beyond measurement that will spread out across time, unfettered. Thank you, sir, for being you.

4:21 I'm 14 years old and I do your method. I love it!!!😀 It really helps me with everything🙂. Thank you.😊

I tear up some times looking at wim hof he is so humble

Day 80 of daily cold showers. I found that after around 2 Minutes, it doesnt even feel cold anymore. It made me more confident and disciplined. I am now taking additional cold showers during the day whenever i feel exhausted or tired. Works better than caffeine! Thank you for the information and motivation! 🙏🏼

Wim hof is such a likeable person. I love his soothing way of speaking.

Wim you are truely an enrichment for the people on this planet. Thank you so much for everything!

sending you love, respect, and gratitude that I found your channel… appreciate all of your videos, cold showers/breathing is working, but you already know that… you are an angel sent to this planet

I don't have a cold pool or anything so I have cold showers everyday for the last 21 days. Every time now I have a shower I put it on the coldest. I can last 5 minutes. It helps, it turns off the anxiety, can't be anxious when your freezing. It gives me peace. Thanks Wim Hof. Your stuff saved me.

Used to struggle with mental health and I struggled building a routine cold showers helped me focus and build a routine back I can’t thank you enough

Wim we love you. Such a humble, down-to-earth, authentic man sharing deep knowledge, helping humanity, spreading love. Man you are a prophet of our times.

I realized that my anxiety is like cold water (it causes stress on my body) so I started to perceive anxiety as something external to me, and when I feel it I imagine it's just cold water...this helps me to don't identify me with my anxiety which therefore disappears quickly! I can handle it like a cold shower..hope this is helpful for someone else :)

Always grateful for your sharing with us, Wim! I'm so happy yo get to know you 🙌🏽🙏🏼🌱🎉

the cold is so awesome - thanks for changing lives Wim!

I have my 7 year old and 11 year old daughters going into the lake with me this winter. They don't complain about the cold anymore, they have learned to enjoy it.

February 17, my first day of work with the Wim Hof method. Thanks for being so much more than anything Expected or before. I'm so grateful for today and your love for bettering yourself.

Best #AskWim Yet! There were many question I had that were covered in this one! Thank You, Wim ❤ All The Love, All The Power!

Today is exactly 2 years since I started taking cold showers every morning and each time I feel great after that, always step out with a big smile, so thanx a lot, Wim! Also 3 breathing sessions straight after shower charges me up with energy for the whole day.

Such inspirational stuff! Anyone who knows me know that I follow the Wim Hof Method! Been cold showering for years now! Champion!!! 💪🏾

Wim is a grandad I always dreamed to have! So wise, so energetic, so bright! What a wonderful man!

Turn on the cold, and turn on the life! Thanks Wim!

Thanks for answering those questions. Very helpful for me. Much love.

Cold showers every night, followed by 1-2 rounds of breathing right before bed, changed my life. I was developing a sleeping disorder during grad school due to stress and discovering this method gave me a way to go to sleep on command. It made a huge difference for my mental health. Thanks Wim ❤

I started at the beginning of the COVID 19 disaster. Still going and enjoying the rewards. Thanks Wim. You are a true hero to millions like me. Just want to detail my evening routine for anyone interested in getting the best deep sleep. Step 1. Wim Hof Breathing Technique. Step 2. 30 minutes yoga. Step 3. Cold shower (heart rate lowered). Step 4. 20 mins of Meditation (Sadhguru free guided meditation). Step 5. Blissful deep sleep. Hope this helps anyone with anxiety or over-active mind. All the peace all the love.

You are just so motivating...thank you for sharing your wisdom, and your heart.

All I can say is Thank you Mr. Hof. I have been doing your breathing exercise for three days, and I have already retained a peacefulness and calming of my mind and soul that is just simply amazing. I am forever great full. I will be adding a cold plunge to my morning.

Thanks for the video amazing work !

Keep up the good work master Wim!

These Q&As are gold!

Thank you Wim,you have changed my life!!love you!!

Youve changed my life totally, without your breathing method i wouldnt be able to control my life and follow my thoughts, thank you somuch for being with us. Love you grandpa :D

This man has helped me alot the last few months.

Allein die Hintergrundmusik macht mich schon fröhlich. Danke für die tollen Fragen der Fragensteller und natürlich auch für die ehrlichen Antworten von Wim Hof.

Thank you, wim hof I have struggled with addiction depression anxiety and traumatic events throughout my life. Because of this breathing technique I have learned through your videos, I've had a bright light experience and no longer suffer with life. Much love and respect, my friend. Thanks for helping save my life.

Thank you for the inspiration Wim. You are a wise and humble teacher, Namaste.

Wim changed everything. Thank you so much.

It’s helping so much. I started the breathing exercise in the morning again after 1 year of not doing it. What a difference to start the day fully charged with calm but strong energy. Thank you Wim! Also: this is a great QAA Video

I found that being in touch with my body and listening ,not thinking opened up a whole new Energy and control without huge effort. Learning to FEEL and be in a natural co-existence with your own body, acknowledge it is key to a true balance in life.

60 minutes with 45pds of ice .Our messenger and a great inspiration. 🙏❤🖖!

Wim you are one of the greatest contributors to life science. Nobel price should be delivered any day now. I cold shower and do the method ever so often when down. Immune booster and mood improver. You are so great to the world. Keep it up!!!!!!!!

Great vidéo ! Thank you Master Wim Hof for your energy and wisdom 🙏

Thanks a LOT for your GENEROSITY. ALL those little questions & your answers are so usefull👍. Sheers🌟

You are a beautiful man, Wim…a shining heart of LOVE. Thank so much for bearing the riddle of others, nurturing yourself and the method, only to share this profound and precious practice. Neither I or my close ones ever imagined that I would lose the aversion to cold and embrace it with open arms. Wim, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! 🖖🏾🕉💖🕊🙏🏽

Have been having cold showers since 1995 when backpacked thru Holland and Europe it was wonderful. And cold Ocean dips since young. Amazing so glad you are sharing this Wim 😊

Thank you for the interesting answers 🍀

Firstly I would like to say Thank you Wim! I am really enjoying learning from you, I have began breathing with you and ending my morning shower on cold for 15 secs now. I have cancer on my lungs therefore trying to heal naturally . I would appreciate any knowledge and other helpful advice? You are a fantastic motivator!

Bless you Wim, thank you, and happy, healthy, strong to all with LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

For me this was one of the best ask Wim’s 🎉

Love u Wim! You are the best! You have no ideia -or maybe you have- on how much my life change while doing your method. I live in a tropical area on North East of Brazil, called Fortaleza -is a giant city-, but is whorm the whole year, about 30 degrees all year long. Because of that, I didin't do too much cold expousure in my life -only when I lived in the south of Brazil-, but the breathing I did it SO MUCH, like thousants of rounds in my life, since the VICE documentary that I saw. The breathing alone change my intire life -sometimes I thought that was being something bad in my life, but with the years passing, I saw the tremendous change that had done in me. I've had drug issues, ezquizofrenia -I still hear voices-, bipolar, 2 suicide attempts, whent to drug rehaab, psiquiatric intitutions, and all sorts of mental illness, but along all this problems the breathing help me to change my body chemstry, to see all the lights, all the chackas, to recive blessings, goosebunbs, to cry so much, to wanna live again and to be a good person. I am a different creature, but I will continue do do the breathing, and the meditation. And like you said, when you see all the chackas, all the lights, It becames boring, but is always too good to do the breathing. God bless you Wim.

I really like the graphic design on the t-shirt :D ! And thanks for the very helpful answers.

Thank you Wim! You are just so brilliant. I do the breathing technique every morning and just listening to your voice, is already so comforting! I have a question though.

What works works. Much wisdom in listening to your inner voice and feeling, and the pragmatic power of practice / adaptation (hormesis). I crawled over the icy terrace just before dawn last morning. Wonderful sensation and clarity of perception.

Wearing a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), it’s amazing how quickly and low my blood glucose drops from a cold shower. It also returns to normal quickly.

Thank you for doing what you do Wim

I started taking cold showers in early January 2022 and that turned into taking them at night before bed paired with 4 rounds of the breathwork and I've gotta say, works like a charm. I used to have to fall asleep listening to something on the computer, now I can jump in the shower and go through my routine spending about 2-3 minutes in the cold which quickly starts to feel euphoric, and since its Summer where I am I end it on cold, then I'll play the guided breathing on the computer, once that's done turn everything off and I'm asleep in about 5-10 minutes. Cheers

have not missed one cold shower in 2 years. am having a flu like thing at the mo and i have been breathing my head off to fight off the cold. the cold shower like 5 or 6 times with hot in between really helps with aches. got your book, thanks Wim😃

Thank you Wiiiiimmmm Hoffffff! You are Heaven sent!❤❤

Thank you for all the inspiration Wim. ❤ I have spinalcord injury and the icebathing and breathing helped me so much!!!

I have 2-3 minute cold showers every morning love it makes me smile.

I'm on week 6 using the app to scale my cold showers. Up to the 1 min 30 second intervals. After I complete this 2nd 20 Day Challenge I think it's time for my first ice bath!

Thank you so much Wim ✨💖🙏✨ ✨✨✨✨✨

Bedankt Wim! I will forever be grateful for you and how you have changed my life for the better! I won't put on social media what you've helped me overcome, suffice it to say I'm free!!!

I love you Wim ❤️❤️❤️ you changed my life forever

I love your personality so much Your such an amazing man 🎉❤ thank you for existing

Thank you Wim Hof. You are excellent!

You change my life and thousands and perhaps millions others one. Cosmic blessing to you my brother. I love you . Ubuntu

love this man🎉

He answered some of the questions I was asking myself. I acted instictively and it is just the same what he said! Cold showers were a bit too much for me, I am very sensitive to cold. So after few failures, I started again just with breathing and showering my legs with cold water. Great to know I am on the right path! Hope it'll work and I can do cold showers and cold immersions this year!

God bless you Wim, thank you very much, my right hand tremor has almost disappear and my energy levels are much higher, I feel much better

30 Days I Have Been Taking 4 Minute Ice Baths & Life Has Completely Changed! No Pain (And I Have A Broken Femur & All Bad Discs In My Lower Back) Also My Testosterone Has Sky Rocketed 🚀 Plus Many More Positive Things Have Happened. I Could Go On.... & On.... But I Won't 🤣 Thanks For Listening 💯

Thank you Wim. Hope you come to Chicago again soon

Happy new year 🎉Wim 💕

THANK YOU!!! all the love ❤️ all the power 💪

I have an thyroid disease which fluctuate between overactive and underactive thyroid. Lately, I've been experiencing trouble sleeping due to my body overheating. Getting up and taking a cold shower helps so much!

Thank you for your kindness

Thank you so much Wim!!!

Thank you, Wim.. I learned something new about it.. good information:)💙

Wim a true savior

So thankful for this information 😅

Thanks Wim!

I find a cold shower helps me feel well when I've not slept much the night before. Thanks Wim!

Merci Wim! Hoaj van dig! 💜

Ik vind je geweldig Wim!

I'm starting with your mini three free courses. I only have two fears. I can be inconsistent and I have under control asthma, so I think this creates a fear on the hold breath and no matter how oxygenated I get I cannot hold on to the no breathing for even a minute. In part I know is my stupid head mixing with anxiety telling I can't. So the question to you is: can people with asthma do the cold shower thing? And how should I go about acclimating to it? Thank Wim. I adore you and some day will have the money to join you personally. Because your energy in person has to be off the charts. And I love that. I don't know if this is how you ask questions here, but is the only social media thing I care to know how to use. 🙏

I have a cold shower 3 times a day and listening to my body and feel so much better. Its Like getting up in the morning and starting the day again. everytime. I love and hate it and it makes me laugh sometimes while showing 😂 🤣 😅

J'adore, je viens de découvrir WIM.. its just so relaxing just to lesson to him.. Breath!!

Glad true heroes still exist ("I've been ridiculed so much" but he keeps going, regardless) true spirit. Thank heavens for people like Wim, a normal guy

Geweldig advies Wim!
